2023 Map of Dorothy

About this map

The Tuckahoe River winds through the low-lying Pinelands of southern New Jersey, marking the boundary between Cumberland and Atlantic counties. This coastal plain landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and drainage networks, including the South River, James Branch, and Stephen Creek. The settlement pattern reveals a grid of small communities and rural outposts like Dorothy, Mizpah, and Estell Manor, often positioned along established corridors like the W Jersey Blvd and Railroad Blvd. Genealogists may find value in the documentation of local burial sites, such as the Saint Bernard Cem and the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Cem. The presence of uniquely named areas like Gigantic City and the historic site of Walkers Forge speaks to the region's diverse industrial and developmental history within the Atlantic County interior.
